Chapter 121 - Overheating

"Anything?" Asked Anya while looking at Aiden. She was afraid to ask for this, but she really needed it.

"Anything!" Aiden calmly replied, contrasting his true feelings.

"Can you cooperate with my father? He owns land but does not have the capital to develop it." Said Anya.

Aiden felt grateful that Anya did not ask for a divorce from him, but that didn't mean he liked the request made by Anya. His wife asked something for her father's sake, "Did Deny tell you to ask me?" He said coldly.

Anya could feel Aiden's annoyance, "Ah, if you can't fulfill it, I can change my request." Anya said quietly. Her voice trembled slightly as she said it.

Aiden had no intention of scaring Anya. He took a deep breath and said, "No need."

"He's still my father." Anya's voice dropped lower and lower. After that, she said nothing.

She couldn't tell Aiden that she didn't do all this for Deny. All of this was for her mother's perfume recipe which was in Deny's hands. She must be able to get the perfume recipe, somehow.

"Okay. I've promised you and so I will not break my promise. I'll give your father a chance." Said Aiden with a little reluctance. However, a promise was a promise. He would not break his promise, especially to Anya, "Can you get me an eye mask? I also want to know the massage techniques you learned from Doctor Tara." Aiden changed the subject because he didn't want to talk about Deny anymore.

"Wait a minute." Anya nodded and immediately took the eye mask. She warmed the eye mask while making Aiden a cup of osmanthus tea. After that, she brought the teacup back to the room.

When she entered the room and put down the teacup she was carrying, she could not find Aiden's figure inside. Then, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Anya turned around and saw Aiden wrapped only in a bath towel around his waist. Puffs of steam were still visible from around his body. The large towel around his waist couldn't cover Aiden's great body. Luckily, Anya had put the cup she brought on the table. If not, she probably would knock it out of awe when she looked at Aiden.

"Come here!" Said Aiden in his low voice.

Anya's eyes were still glued to Aiden's muscles, as if they had magnets, making her unable to avert her eyes. Aiden's body was so perfectly built that it could make all women get nosebleeds!

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Anya felt her nose itch and immediately rubbed it with her hand.

When she looked at her hands and found bloodstains, she realized that she really had a nosebleed!

Gosh, this was so embarrassing! Perhaps she was the first woman in history to have a nosebleed when she saw her husband's body!

Anya immediately covered her nose and ran towards the bathroom. When she passed Aiden, the man immediately took her hand, "What's wrong?" He asked. Aiden already knew what happened but he tried to hide his smile and asked Anya on purpose. He deliberately wanted to tease his wife who was like this little rabbit.

"Eh? No, nothing? I want to go to the bathroom." Said Anya as she let go of Aiden and rushed into the bathroom.

Aiden chuckled seeing Anya's behavior. His wife was really adorable.

Anya immediately washed her face with cold water. Then, she patted her forehead and neck with cold water, trying to calm herself down. It took awhile for the nosebleeds to stop.

When Anya came out of the bathroom, her clothes were half wet because of the splash of water. 

"I smell blood. Are you hurt?" Aiden suddenly asked. It seemed he didn't want to miss the opportunity to continue teasing Anya.

Anya looked at Aiden while muttering softly. How could Aiden's smell be so extraordinary? It looked like he had the same smell as that of a wolf!

"No. My nose is bleeding. Maybe I'm just hot." Anya chuckled, trying to cover her embarrassment.

She walked to the closet and took out a shirt. Anya wanted to change her wet clothes, but suddenly her body was covered by a large black shadow.

"Do you want me to help you not to overheat again?" Aiden blinked at her with an ambiguous gaze.

"No, no!" Said Anya while shaking her hand.

Aiden smiled when he saw her. He lowered his head and kissed Anya's forehead gently, "I'm hot too. Don't you want to help me cool it down?"

"I've made osmanthus tea for you. Maybe it can help you." Anya tried to avoid him.

"Ah ..." Aiden smiled as he continued to tease Anya, "But I want you."

"I- ... I ..." Anya looked panicked and confused. She did not know what to do. Like a little rabbit trembling at the gaze of a big wolf. 

Aiden held Anya's chin gently and kissed her lips briefly. It seemed like he should stop teasing his wife. Otherwise, this little bunny would run away soon, "Come on, massage me." He said, changing the conversation.

Anya's big eyes flickered several times as Aiden let her go.

Aiden once said that he wouldn't force her to do anything and he always kept his word. Her husband was not only handsome and rich, but also very gentle with her, like a real gentleman.

Anya smiled thinking about it.

She walked over to Aiden's place and started massaging him, according to what Tara taught. Aiden was very happy. Whatever Anya did for him, no matter how small, would warm his heart. His lips curved slightly into a smile as he closed his eyes.

"Do you like it?" Anya asked.

"Hmm ... I like it." Aiden said while still closing his eyes.

"Can I get a reward for being such a good wife?" Anya asked again.

"What gift do you want?" It was rare for Anya to ask him for gifts like this. Usually, Anya was always afraid to express her opinions and desires to Aiden.

"If you don't intend to divorce me in the meantime, can you please give me room for me to work? The perfume room?" Anya asked in a low voice.

Aiden's heart seemed to stop beating for a second. Why did his wife think that he would divorce her?

"There is an empty room on the left side of the second floor that you can use." Aiden said calmly, "Now, how do you thank me?"

Anya didn't think twice. She immediately grabbed Aiden's face and kissed his lips briefly. That quick kiss was enough to disturb Aiden's peaceful heart. His heart immediately beat twice as fast.

"Is this enough?" Anya was embarrassed and blushed.

"Not enough. Again." Aiden teased her on purpose.

"Hmm... I'll give you a deeper one when the perfume room is finished." Anya promised him with sparkling eyes.

"Is it true? How deep are you going to give?" Aiden chuckled while ruffling Anya's hair.

"Very deep and sweet kiss. I will definitely be very happy when the perfume room is ready and I'm sure…"Anya had not had time to finish her words when she heard Aiden's cell phone ringing.

Aiden stretched out his hand and took his cell phone that was on the nightstand. He immediately picked up the call, "What's wrong?"

"Sir, is Madame with you?" Harris asked.

Hearing Harris's question, he knew that this problem was not a trivial matter so he did not want to involve Anya, "Anya, help Hana to prepare lunch. I want to eat your cooking."

"Eh? Now?" Anya asked in surprise. However, after that she nodded and went downstairs.

She knew that Harris had called Aiden so she thought Harris was going to talk about the Rose Scent issue. But it looked like Aiden and Harris wanted to discuss the company's secrets.
